Opiated - The Tragically Hip

He bought two fifths of lead free gasoline

Said the bottle is dusty but my engine is clean

He bought a nice blue suit with the money he could find

If his bride didn’t like it Saint Peter wouldn’t mind

But now I lie here so out of breath and over opiated

Maybe I couldn’t catch up, no, but maybe he could have waited

Well, the medicine man started seeing red

You think the snake just dreams up the poison in his head

Well, addicted to approval, addicted to the air

It was see if you like it or see you on up there

But now I lie here so out of breath and over opiated

Maybe I couldn’t catch up, no, but maybe he could have waited

Now I lie here so out of breath and over opiated

Maybe I couldn’t catch up, no, but maybe he could have waited

Now I lie here so out of breath and over opiated

Maybe I couldn’t catch up, no, but maybe he could have waited

Maybe he could have waited

Maybe he could have waited
